Abstract:
Maximising solubility is a key step in applying solution-state NMR to proteins. The 'microbatch' crystallisation screening method can be adapted to screen for protein solubility. In this approach, drops of test solutions are placed under paraffin oil in 96-well screening plates. This requires very small amounts of protein, is easy to set up and is readily automatable.

Overcoming the solubility limit with solubility-enhancement tags: successful applications in biomolecular NMR studies
Abstract Although the rapid progress of NMR technology has significantly expanded the range of NMR-trackable systems, preparation of NMR-suitable samples that are highly soluble and stable remains a bottleneck for studies of many biological systems. The application of solubility-enhancement tags (SETs) has been highly effective in overcoming solubility and sample stability issues and has enabled structural studies of important biological systems previously deemed...

Protein-fusion constructs have been used with great success for enhancing expression of soluble recombinant protein and as tags for affinity purification. Unfortunately the most popular tags, such as GST and MBP, are large, which hinders direct NMR studies of the fusion proteins. Cleavage of the...
